IN THE MEDIA
OUR MISSION
At Defender Publishing, we are a Christian-based publishing house committed to boldly engaging with the spiritual realities and pressing issues the mainstream Church often avoids. Our mission is to uncover truth, expose darkness, and equip believers for the times we are living in—through biblically grounded, theologically sound works that stir the spirit and challenge the status quo.
We specialize in content that explores biblical prophecy, spiritual warfare, supernatural realities, and controversial topics such as the Nephilim, ancient gods, transhumanism, and occult influence in society. Inspired by the legacy of our late founder, Dr. Thomas Horn, we are dedicated to tackling the hard questions, unveiling hidden theological insights, and speaking truth without compromise.
Beyond the printed page, Defender Publishing partners with SkyWatch Television and a network of ministries to amplify our authors’ messages through cutting-edge audio and visual media. This integrated approach ensures every book we release has a voice beyond the bookshelf—reaching hearts, provoking thought, and equipping the Body of Christ with truth for a time such as this.
Every title we release is rooted in Scripture, driven by purpose, and written for those who understand the hour is late—and the battle is real.
OUR FOUNDERS
DR. THOMAS R. HORN
Dr. Thomas Horn was a prolific author, respected television and radio personality, and visionary publisher whose work profoundly shaped the landscape of modern Christian media. Until his passing in October 2023, he served as the Chief Executive Officer of SkyWatchTV, an innovative platform that combined investigative journalism with biblical commentary on prophecy, the supernatural, and current events.
A pioneer at the dawn of the internet age, Dr. Horn launched two influential news services that rapidly gained traction for their bold reporting on religion, prophecy, hidden discoveries, and spiritual warfare. His cutting-edge investigations and network of contributing writers drew widespread attention, leading to features and interviews with major outlets including:
ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX, BBC, MSNBC, Time, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Miami Herald, Michael Savage, History Channel, SciFi Channel, Sid Roth’s “It’s Supernatural,” Hannity & Colmes, The 700 Club, The Jim Bakker Show, Daystar TV, FaithTV, Coast to Coast AM, WorldNetDaily, NewsMax, and many more across the globe.
Throughout his career, Dr. Horn authored dozens of best-selling books and published many more through his media and publishing enterprises. SkyWatchTV ultimately became the flagship platform of his expanding media ecosystem, encompassing Defender Publishing and Defender Films, all unified under his bold mission: to expose darkness, proclaim truth, and equip believers in the final days.
Nita Horn currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Whispering Ponies Ranch (WPR)—a Christ-centered therapeutic retreat that utilizes miniature equine-assisted activities and petting zoo animals to provide mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. WPR primarily ministers to children who have endured trauma and abuse, offering them a safe and restorative environment.
She is a regular panelist on the nationally broadcast ministry SkyWatch TV and co-host of Simply His, a weekly television and radio blog show offering a woman’s perspective on theology, culture, and current events—especially as they relate to faith and the family.
Nita has co-authored several books with her late husband, Dr. Tom Horn, including Forbidden Gates and their final work together, We Are Legion: For We Are Many, released in Fall 2023.
Earlier in her ministry journey, Nita served as the Oregon State Director of Missionettes, a mentoring program dedicated to reaching girls for Christ through love, discipleship, and biblical truth. She also spent decades in pastoral ministry alongside her husband, gaining deep, practical insight into the challenges and beauty of Christian leadership and family life.
Nita is the proud mother of three adult children and a devoted grandmother to eight. Her powerful personal testimony and unwavering faith are beautifully captured in her memoir, No Fences: It Started with a Plastic Pony.
